ROADSTER
DELUXE
Adding subtle touches to the uncluttered Bonneville
form, the T100 wears a little extra to mark its connection
with the classic ‘deluxe’ speedster of the
sixties. And along with the Bonneville, the T100 has
moved with the times, receiving a fuel injected engine
for 2008 to bring it in line with the forthcoming Euro
3 legislation. The fuel injected engine is cleaner running
than the carburettor version, and is easier to fire
up from a cold start. But the bike doesn’t lose
its legendary retro styling as the throttle bodies have
been designed to look just like carburettors whilst
cleverly concealing the fuel injectors. The fuel filler
cap seal has also been redesigned and the cap is now
60% easier to release.
The T100’s full-blooded and
responsive 865cc parallel twin-cylinder engine delivers
throaty acceleration, amplified by the mellow backbeat
from its twin peashooter exhaust pipes.
Maximum power of 68PS (67bhp) arrives at 7,500rpm, with
peak torque of 69Nm (51ft.lbf) delivered at 5,800rpm.
The chassis – a tubular steel
frame, 41mm telescopic forks and chromed twin rear shocks
– offers secure road-holding, effortless steering
and easy-going manners, just as you would
expect of a bike derived from Bonneville heritage. Likewise
the powerful twin-piston calipers operating on front
and rear discs ensure excellent stopping ability.
Completing the T100 are a tachometer,
rubber knee grips and chromed engine covers. Accessories
available for the T100 include classic chromed extras
such as a front mudguard, side stand and cam cover,
as well as practical additions like the fly screen and
tank bag. The sixty8 range of accessories can also be
fitted to the T100.
The elegant two-tone paint options
for 2008 include Jet Black with a Fusion White infill,
Claret with an Aluminium Silver infill, Forest Green
with a New England White infill, all of
which come with a gold coach line, and Jet Black with
Tornado Red infill with a silver coach line. The T100’s
coach lines are all skilfully hand applied, with each
craftsman initialling the
underside of a completed tank.
The Bonneville T100 is a timeless
machine and remains the very epitome of elegance and
style, underlining the power of individuality.
